Indie singer/songwriter (and brother of my favorite sports writer, Dan) Kevin Devine had his birthday on December 19. To thank his fans for the well wishes, he posted new song lyrics on his Facebook page.

In addition to being a solo artist, Kevin also is a part of Bad Books recently went public with the Miracle Of 86 reunion that’s coming. He’s had a handful of shows in New York in this month; it’s looking like he’ll have a busy 2013, too.

I know you’re underneath there,
Waiting on an air supply
To feed your darkest secret
The one that’s keeping us alive

You blame me; I don’t blame you
We’ve traded places over time
Anger’s only fear gone desperate
That’s why I keep an eye on mine

I never know where I should be,
But you tell me answers that I just don’t believe

I can’t believe you
I can’t believe you now

33! – I don’t feel that old, but,
The calendar can’t tell a lie
Equal measures, sweet & vicious
The story I make of my life

I plead “Peace!” then build the bomb back
The second that the treaty’s signed
This “letting go” is an active practice
I’m working at it all the time

You taught me to call worrying work
But your kind of action’s a paralysis curse.

I can’t believe you
I can’t believe you now

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
